Federal health officials have expanded an investigation into an outbreak of infant botulism linked to ByHeart baby formula, now including at least fifty-one infants across nineteen states. The investigation was broadened due to the possibility of contamination in all products, as independent lab tests found the bacteria in thirty-six samples from three different lots. ByHeart has a history of contamination issues, including a previous recall and an FDA warning letter. Parents like Andi Galindo and Amy Mazziotti have been affected, with their infants hospitalized and experiencing symptoms such as constipation and poor feeding. Several families have filed lawsuits against ByHeart, alleging negligence and seeking compensation. The Daily News Now! — Every city. Every story. AI-powered. Hosted on Acast.
